What's For Dinner?

Periodically I will post a picture of what Matt and I have for dinner.

Tonight's awesome meal: home made chicken masala with homemade naan! Delicious!
It was my first time making Indian food but it turned out amazing! Although it takes a lot of prep work and is time consuming, it's relatively easy. We made a huge batch of each to have for dinner the next two nights.
We didn't have the red Indian spice that makes the dish bright red and spicy, but we will look around at the World Food Market the next time we are there. No worries though, it was so good and so cheap! One box of masala spice makes 15 HUGE batches.

Today is the first time we had carbs besides rice for 2 weeks. We are pretty happy with our resolve to go without for 14 days, and we did it! Although we cheated in small ways (a sugary drink here or there), we didn't eat bread, fried anything, pasta, sweets, desserts, or pizza and feel GREAT.

We've decided to just keep a good thing going and only limit ourselves to carb heavy meals once or twice a week. The naan is definitely satisfying and you only need one piece to indulge.
